Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .

“I am selling these 3 old Jeeps, I don’t know much about them, titles have not yet been found but maybe will be. Would prefer to sell them as parts and all three at once. Any other questions or to set up view feel free to call or email.”
It doesn’t run, but might be worth a look.

Seller is overseas and the title is in SC, while jeep is in VA.
“I bought this old jeep around a year ago to restore it but don’t have the time or money so it’s for sale.
It is a 1948 Willys CJ2A. This jeep is solid to be as old as it is. It is all original and needs to be brought back to life. I believe the engine can be rebuilt because it is not seized.
This jeep is defiantly a project vehicle and requires a lot of work, but it’s solid enough to be brought back to life, and again I don’t have the time but I am not giving it away so please make a reasonable offer. your starting point is $3000, but I will work with someone if you are interested.
I have the title but am currently over seas and will be returning in a couple of months. If you are interested in the jeep and would like to see it, It is located at my father’s house and he would be more than glad to get it out of his drive way so stopping by to see it won’t be an issue. Please email any questions.
Also please note what I mentioned above, that I am over seas. The title is in Myrtle beach, I am over seas, and the jeep is in VA, so I will address any inquires or questions through email and respond as soon as possible.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1100.
(06/14/2015) This has a CJ-3A body melded to a CJ-5.
“Have an old Willy’s Jeep, body is rough but engine runs solid. Perfect restore project or farm vehicle. $1100 OBO. Contact if interested.”

Alex found this unusual photo on a French website (no credit was give for the photo). He thought it a historical re-enactement of the allied landing in Southern France in 1944. I think she might be photoshopped into the image (not sure). Certainly, the photo leaves little to the imagination.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,000.
“For sale is my ww2 ford made jeep it has had a frame of restored rebuilt transmission body is original with new hat Chanel new gas tank engine is a gpw engine good running jeep has had floors repaired dod is 7-29-42 have original date plates asking $12.500 for it or a trade on a good running m37 or m1009 cucv and some cash”
Jason is selling his 1943 MB. It is mechanically sound, with an older restoration and replacement tub. It needs final accessories and correct drab green paint to complete restoration. You can contact Jason here: Jason.smith5@verizon.net or 941-799-1019.
UPDATE: Now on eBay
“You’re looking at a ground-up restoration of a classic Jeep Willys CJ-2 “Alpha”. Restoration was finished in mid-2013.
I spared nothing in this rebuild. I have been a Willys fan all my life, and I wanted this to be right down to every last detail. This project took months and became quite involved.
The rebuild includes:
* Fully rebuilt engine and transmission
* Completely new clutch assembly
* New brakes, drums and brake lines
* New springs (front and rear)
* New gas tank
* New gauges and wiring
* New front seats and steering wheel
* New rims and tires
* New paint
Mechanically, it’s flawless. Drives perfectly and true to its heritage. Power plant is the stock Willys 2.2L “134” 4-cylinder, and transmission is the famous Willys 3-speed, which is reliable and bulletproof in its simplicity. Only ~200 miles on rebuild.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000
(12/07/2014) LOTS of updates.
“1942 Willys-Overland – $22,000
Plain and Simple: You will not find one as clean and mechanically sound as this one. 50 caliber gun mount still there. Fully street legal and fully tagged, ready for anything you want to throw at it. Customized for Off Road, however drives great on road. Virtually every mechanical part is brand new. I have invested approximately $30,000 of which I have all the receipts for. Work was either professionally performed or brand new mechanical parts meticulously installed with new gaskets and proper torque settings. Looks great in pictures and even better in person. I am selling because I don’t have the time to use it and it is taking up needed space in garage. Stored in garage every day since ownership. It has been on the Rubicon Trail 3 times with ease, never sustaining any damage, getting stuck, or need for winch. Below is a sample of the upgrades/mods that were performed:
No good overview pics.
“This is a 1956 Willys Jeep-A-Trench. Comes complete with the original engine, transmission and all Jeep-A-Trench components. Also comes with the rare original engine governor. I have the original pink slip title with the matching black California license plates. I also purchased another Jeep-A-Trench Willys jeep for parts. So you also get an extra engine, transmission, and complete Jeep-A-Trench setup (there is one just like it currently advertised on eBay for $5,500). I have two digging chains; one with cups for soft soil and one with spikes for hard soil. I paid $600 for all new bearings for the digger chain wheels. I have all four auger screws. Lot’s of good and rare documents included. Extra “Electrolift” for the front blade included as well. This jeep is complete with the original front blade and counterweight too. I have many body and many misc parts that go with this jeep; extra steering column and box, extra drive shafts, excellent gas tank, etc.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
It’s a project.
“1948 cj-2a, hasn’t ran since parked 2 years ago, body needs some work, its all there and original, 1 flat tire. Title in hand.”
UPDATE: **OLD** Was $1000.
(05/24/2015) Not sure how much value is here.
“I have 2 willies jeeps ,no motor in ether one . all running gear is there. will make great mudder. also have a ford 2300 to go back in ,and original mtr is torn down. will take 1000 OBO .”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
“I do not have the time to finish rebuilding my 46 jeep so I am selling it. This jeep has been completely taken apart for a frame off restoration. The body was shot so I had a new heavy guage body custom bent and cut out. The floor pan is 11 gauge steel and the rest of the body panels are 16 gauge steel. I sandblasted the entire frame inside and out. It has 3 coats of rustoleum primer with 3 coats of rustoleum black paint. The new body panels are bare metal and not rusted. I have several original body parts such as windshield, hood, firewall, grille, tailgate and front fenders. I have 2 complete hurricane 4cyl. motors. One motor has a bad cylinder. Neither one has run for over 10 years as this jeep was stored in a garage since the 60’s. I have extra complete front and rear axles with leaf springs also. I will not part out any parts except the extra axles. This jeep is currently stripped down to the frame and ready to start reassembly. This is mainly a package deal. Please call with any questions. Cash only.”
Peter shared photos of a few jeeps he used to own.
He writes, Enclosed several photos of Jeeps in the 1960’s which I thought might be of interest. Two of these were taken outside Metamet the Jeep dealers in Daleham mews London around 1966 at the time I was making regular trips for parts.
The other photos show my first jeep CJG which I regrettably soon found out was more suitable as spares. It had at some time been given some form of conversion and the body extended, the rear enclosed with planks ! An extra length towbar can be seen. This jeep was beyond ever getting being put back on the road so was soon disposed of.

Roger and I check out one of his DRW projects back in 2013.
Ron forwarded this ad. Gary is looking for booklets, information, and spare parts for FJs.
“I am interested in buying information on Jeep FleetVans both FJ3 postal van and FJ3-A Commercial van. Highway Products Company in Kent Ohio built and assembled the bodies for Jeep for the Post Office Delivery “FleetVans” from 1960-1966 +-
If you or a family member worked there and have any pictures, history, parts, blueprints, records from that time; please get in touch with me. I will be glad to buy originals or copies. The history on this vehicle is sparse; I’d like to improve that.
Also I am interested in buying parts or complete vehicles.”
Probably not too vintage, but still an interesting piece.
